The Layang Layang Museum

The Layang Layang Museum is actually a kite museum. Another name for it, is the Pasir Gudang Kite Museum. It was opened to the public in February 2002 during the 7th Pasir Gudang Kite Festival. It was opened as an appreciation towards the contribution of Malysian and International kite flyers.
The museum houses a collection of traditional kite heritage known as the 'Wau'. The word 'Wau' is derived from the 'wouw' vocabulary whick means kite. The name is also derived from the sound made by the hummer of the kite at flight.
The main features of the kite are characterized by its head, tail and wing section. It takes alot of patience and hard work to make a nicely done kite. Hence it is not a fast and easy job.
